Hi Ryan I've been looking at you boat reviews to find my first boat. Will you be doing anymore rc reviews.

kmccurdy21 - 5 years ago

I just bought three for my 100 ft long pond. I’m thinking they might be too quick

Mark Florenzen - 5 years ago

Dude what the hell are you talking about lipo is so so much faster you have to have brushless motor which is faster in it’s self

Flyin' Ryan RC - 5 years ago

Dude what the hell are you talking about, Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer are not that different.

Zol Fodor - 5 years ago

Just purchased one of these for my son,in the manual it says the light will go green on the charger when its fully charged,but i,ve only got a usb charger with no light on it,is this right mate ?

Flyin' Ryan RC - 5 years ago

The LEDs on these cheap chargers can be pretty iffy. Maybe the LED on yours is broken, or maybe the entire charger is. These batteries can be a fire hazard, so I would suggest not messing with a possibly defective charger. I would contact the seller of the boat about a replacement charger, or find one online. I would suggest buying a real hobby-grade charger, but the plug type on this battery is not common, which makes it hard to find the proper cables to charge it with a hobby-grade charger.

Maoam George - 5 years ago

I needs a fix to this the boat keeps steering by its self

SPEED DEMON - 5 years ago

Is this faster than the h100? The battery seems bigger

Ants Saar - 5 years ago

Seriously??! Lipo and li-ion are very diffrent.. This li-ion is somewhere between 5-10C maybe? at best? But in 30C lipo and tell me its not noticably faster :P Theres many many diffrences between lipo and li-ion... Dunno how good esc it has thou, 30C lipo may end up with burning esc, lol.

When you flip it over you need to do it up and down faster

velociraptor4554 - 6 years ago

andrew mccluskey - 6 years ago

Just ordered one, looking to buy spare props, any ideas can't seem to find any?

kingcobra - 6 years ago

oh! sorry, i meant to ask, i have a spare ft009 pistol style remote,ould i be able to bind that to this boat easily? or would i have to stick with that rather unfamiliar flight controller type?

kingcobra - 6 years ago

Hi Ryan,really like your reviews,always informative,and with good camera work,i wanted to ask you about this boat,how does it compare to the Fei Lun ft 009? and ft 012 with speed , and run time? i'm still a novice so handleability is something that might concern me too,driveability and manoeverability is imprtant too. thanks.

DANSON D LTD - 6 years ago

The servo fails very quick making the boat turn 100% left and 5% right . Your looks like it’s on it’s way out as well

20. comment for Skytech - H101 Speed Boat - Review and Run

Gary D - 6 years ago

My problem is we bought two of them and one control makes both go. So we can't race each other. Any suggestions on how to pair them separate to have both remote controls working and not just one for two boats.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 6 years ago

They should sync separately. Turn on one boat and controller first, and let them sync. Then do the next boat/controller. If you turn on both boats/controllers at the same time, I suppose that could allow one controller to bind to both boats. But if you do them one at a time, there should be no issue.

Adriano Salemi - 7 years ago

Which one one you recommend between the h101 and the ft009?

Flyin' Ryan RC - 7 years ago

I believe the FT009 slows down when the battery is about to die.

Adriano Salemi - 7 years ago

Flyin' Ryan RC is it purely because of the remote? I like the low voltage feature the h101 has, as it tells you to come back to shore. I don't think the ft009 has that. That's what's making me lean more towards the h101.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 7 years ago

I prefer the FT009. I suppose the biggest difference to consider is the controller.

Bdub Q - 7 years ago

Loving your videos. Started off with your quadcopter ones. Great value. Thanks! What budget RC boat would you recommend for a beginner child? Looking for something that won't flip much at all. I like this H101, but would prefer I teach my kids with a traditional boat transmitter as opposed to this quad style one. Looking forward to you response. Thanks Ryan.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 7 years ago

Check out the Feilun FT009. It's a great boat... it was my first. It is a lot like this boat, but with a traditional ground vehicle controllers.

nitro_x_ 88 - 7 years ago

Rc Insane - 6 years ago

Gary D - 6 years ago

Lee Rye we got about 20minutes with ours.

FXSS - 7 years ago

It's backwards to forwards for the self-righting...

Robert Evans - 7 years ago

The righting is just a timing issue. Don't hold it so long.

Bill Johnson - 7 years ago

is that man made lake in Florida?

Flyin' Ryan RC - 7 years ago

No, I'm in IL.

Greg Gammon - 7 years ago

just got this boat last night. I have not ran it yet however the latch that holds the top lid on already broke. does anyone know how to get a replacement lid of how to modify the one that came with it so it will lock down tight?

Greg Gammon - 7 years ago

Flyin' Ryan RC thanks! it's worth a shot. I'll give it a try.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 7 years ago

It's probably pretty unlikely that you'll find spare parts for this boat, but there is a thing called "hatch tape" which you may be able to use to tape the boat closed. http://amzn.to/2sivDKN

H101 vs H100?

vitaliy shatkhin - 7 years ago

Flyin' Ryan RC - 7 years ago

I don't know what the difference is. May just be the color?

Rh Last Nae - 7 years ago

Thank you for the video, yeah it is very windy, and pushes very well.

Ian Mangham - 8 years ago

Anything that comes with 2 battery's is awesome

Ian Mangham - 8 years ago

nice tx

Aidan Madigan - 8 years ago

cool

Jr Fults - 8 years ago

have you found any were to buy spare battery for this boat i cant find then no were sorth of a drag for the boat it very fun.

Michael Mack - 5 years ago

I found replacements easy and a better charger

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

No, unfortunately I can't seem to find any spare batteries for this one.

DroneXFun - 8 years ago

considering the self righting function relies on the inertia/torque of the motor, i'm thinking that because it is brushed maybe there's not enough inertia/torque for it to work as well as a brushless motor. just a thought. thanks for the vids.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

Nah, cause I've reviewed a few other brushed boats that self-right very quickly. I really think it was mostly due to the choppy water. :)

Lungoci Corneliu - 8 years ago

Nice boat, nice video, thanks!

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

Thanks!

Sergej Nadaždin - 8 years ago

and also the Tide Breaker can flip itself upside down if you kept going forwards,backwards,forwards.

Sergej Nadaždin - 8 years ago

on the Tide Breaker, the self flipping works. slight gas then brake and it's back!

John Cuppi - 8 years ago

I'm sad about this boat. I lost connection to my tx while it was pretty much right there in front of me. I put it down on the ground to do something real quick on my phone, went back to it, and the boat just didn't respond. After doing everything and pressing buttons, it just wouldn't get connection back... now it's stuck in the middle of the lake where it drifted away to. -_-

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

Weird, I have no idea why that would've happened. :( Hopefully it drifts back to shore eventually.

Harrys Toy Corner - 8 years ago

Looks super stable in the water, just floats thru it

Vladimir Putin - 8 years ago

Glen D. Spicer - 8 years ago

Sergej Nadaždin - 8 years ago

+Flyin' Ryan RC good boat...

but can it fly? (because it has elevator and rudder)

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

Thanks! :)

StarAquatics - 8 years ago

Looks good might have to pick one of these up. Been after a nice little boat and this looks to fit the bill, Cheers for the review Ryan.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

@StarAquatics Hope you like it! It's a really nice boat. :)

StarAquatics - 8 years ago

+Flyin' Ryan RC oh I've seen those too, I watch pretty much all of your reviews. You seemed really impressed with this one so I've taken the plunge and hopefully mine should arrive late this week or early next. I'll let you know what I think of it once I've had a few test runs.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

Check out my reviews of the Feilun boats too. Those would be the other ones I would suggest to consider in addition to this one. :)

Anthony E. Idealistic Woodworks - 8 years ago

so an aerial transmitter, only good thing there is it has pitch and roll lol. Nice run Ryan!

eric GTX - 8 years ago

I believe the connector is the same as the one on the JJRC H26 and it's 2S as well so I think it's directly compatible.

August Lyons - 8 years ago

Ya now that one blows the yellow one out of the water, pun intended. With that kind of speed you must have to have a large area to really get it going. It would be cool if you had like a receiver for it attached to a FPV drone and control the boat in a lake from the drone while your flier follows it and keeps it in range.

"Oil, To lube the shaft"

Massachusetts Prepper - 8 years ago

That is definitely a nice little boat for sure. And being able to flip itself back over is a huge plus. Thanks for sharing my friend.

Steve RC - 8 years ago

Nice review Ryan. Looks like you've found some serious Feilun 009 competition.
Can't say I'm too high on the fly-Tx, but that's easily remedied.
I took my 009 into the So Cal waves, if the self-righting were that clumsy, the 009 would be gone, LOL.

SHAWN BLOCK - 8 years ago

@Flyin Ryan RC, Do you think it would help if i got an actual Transmitter. Like, maybe the: Dx6i or Dx6??? Thank-you, i have subscribed & really like the video's. Especially the Airplane one's.

SHAWN BLOCK - 8 years ago

Nice, looks a little easier than planes. I have spent more than $400.00 on 4-micro planes & 2 of them flew away & never found neither-one. The 2 that flew away, were both the: Sport Cub S with S.A.F.E. The other 2, need repair's. A Champ & Parkzone Ultra Micro P-51D Mustang. All this in 1 month of trying too teach myself to fly.

RC-TALK 101 - 8 years ago

what starter boat would you recommend for a beginner that's cheap

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

This one, or the Feilun FT009.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

They are so much fun! :)

Israel Calderon - 8 years ago

which is the best boat you bought under 65 dollars?

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

@Israel Calderon That's a great boat too. :)

Israel Calderon - 8 years ago

+Flyin' Ryan RC the ft012 is to much but ft009 is under my budget so thanks!!

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

I don't recall prices, but the FT012 has been my favorite so far.

+Flyin' Ryan RC does the youtube give money,if they so u could buy it anyway bro plz subscribe to my channel

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

I don't know... it's expensive, so I have to decide if I want to spend that much money on it.

Difference between lipo and lithium ion

Ian Mangham - 5 years ago

Lipo =soft pack Lion=hard pack

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

There is not much, as far as I know.

Phil Steadman - 8 years ago

That's a sweeeeet looking boat! Brilliant review as always Ryan! Do you think this would be a good first speedboat for my 10 year old son?

Ian Mangham - 5 years ago

@Flyin' Ryan RC Howdy Ryan, just thought I'd drop by mate and say MERRY XMAS MATE

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

+Phil Steadman Yeah, this or maybe the Feilun FT009, if you think a standard ground vehicle controller would be easier for him to use.

Ludovic L. - 8 years ago

Looks like the UDI001 boat. Does its Tx also beeps when boat batteries are low?
Please Ryan, could you :
- review a cheap speed boat on the sea, it is sooo fun :-) - and make a video teaching how to 'salt-water' proofing these boats ;-)
Love your channel.

Charlie Hill - 5 years ago

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

+Ludovic L. Not sure about the beep... I haven't had the chance to run the boat for that long. And, I don't live anywhere near the sea. heh

RC Team Austria - 8 years ago

looks really interesteing, thanks for sharing!

The RCAddict - 8 years ago

Wow, seems pretty quiet, would be awesome since it doesn't annoy people, lol. Not sure how I feel about the flight remote though, haha. Amazing how smooth is tracked :)

The RCAddict - 8 years ago

@Flyin' Ryan RC Yeah, I am loading it up haha

Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago

Yeah, I was very impressed by how smooth this thing was in that choppy water. My FT011 review comes out today, btw. It was filmed on the same day as this one, and the FT011 was much more bouncy in that choppy water.

DIMITRIOS GYLTIDIS - 8 years ago

Already own it and it cool but you forgot to mention in the review the low battery alarm on the controller which makes it a must to own

Charles Coby - 8 years ago
